The TOMs Handbook brings together all the elements needed to enable the reader to understand and implement the TOM within their own team and with their clients.

This book and the following are part of series of guides to accompany TOMs scales for a specialist set of conditions. They are tailored to a specific set of adapted scales, information and resources.

Launch of e -TOMs

New Online Training – Learning how to 
measure impact and value of health and wellness services.

Health services, across the world, continue to experience financial pressures increasing the need to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the quality of care as well as being able to provide evidence of this using real-world data..   

The Community Therapists Network is delighted to have partnered with the team at Medshr to launch a new online TOMs training programme, enabling health, social and educational professionals to use one of the UK’s most respected, reliable measures for recording therapy/treatment outcomes data.  

The Therapy Outcome Measures (TOMs) was developed over 40 years ago by Professor Pam Enderby OBE. A major update of the TOMs Handbook was published in March 2025 and is  available from J and R Press (www.jr-press.co.uk). The latest edition comprises over 80 ‘adapted’ scales including several new scales as well as updated scales.

Everyone who completes our TOMs training (face to face, or via the online module) is sent a training certificate, to add to their CPD portfolio. Perhaps as important, by completing the training you have a grounding in capturing reliable, evidence-based, real world outcome data. Consequently this training enables and supports a skill in how to measure the value and impact of services created and designed to optimise person-centred care for your patients.

To read more about the training and to sign up visit this Medshr page. 

TOMs Trainer update 

Toward the end of 2025, Prof Enderby recorded an update on the TOMs Handbook for all TOMs trainers, which can be accessed from this TOMs Trainer resources page.

To qualify as a TOMs trainer, you are required to complete the TTT programme and an online assessment.
